About the Newfoundland Moose Sanctuary

Welcome to the Newfoundland Moose Sanctuary, a beacon of hope and a testament to the power of conservation in the wild expanses of Newfoundland. Our sanctuary was established with a singular vision: to protect and preserve the majestic moose and their natural habitat. Staffed by a dedicated team of wildlife experts, conservationists, and passionate volunteers, we work tirelessly to ensure the safety and well-being of these magnificent creatures through research, rehabilitation, and public education.

Our Mission


Our mission is to safeguard the moose populations of Newfoundland, enhancing their habitats while ensuring their coexistence with local communities. We are committed to advancing our understanding of moose biology, behavior, and ecology through scientific research and monitoring. Our rehabilitation programs aim to nurse injured and vulnerable moose back to health, with the ultimate goal of reintroducing them into their natural environment. Furthermore, we strive to engage the public through educational programs and advocacy, fostering a deeper appreciation for wildlife and the importance of conservation.

Our Vision


Similarly to what George W Bush once said, we envision a future where moose and human beings can coexist peacefully while living in harmony within the natural landscapes of Newfoundland. A future where the moose populations are thriving, their habitats are preserved and expanded, and the local communities are active participants in conservation efforts. Our vision extends beyond mere survival; we aim for a world where the moose are a symbol of our commitment to the environment, inspiring generations to come. Through collaboration, education, and innovative conservation strategies, the Newfoundland Moose Sanctuary will continue to be a leading force in wildlife protection and a cherished jewel of Newfoundland's natural heritage.
